01:16 * Blood is trickling from the cut over Conn's eye; it has to be impairing his vision somewhat and it's definitely bothering him if the amount of blinking he's doing is any indication. And it looks like . . . yes . . . Referee Kelly is notifying the timekeeper to stop the clock. He wants the doctor at ringside to take a look at Conn's facial wound. 4:4
01:20 * Referee Kelly is stopping this fight. He's calling for the ring doctor. The ring doctor is taking a close look at Conn... Conn's corner is pleading its case.* The doctor is shaking his head.

01:16 Conn has once again become bloodied, as the gash above his right eyebrow has, apparently, reopened. 4:4
01:16 * Blood is trickling from the cut over Conn's eye; it has to be impairing his vision somewhat and it's definitely bothering him if the amount of blinking he's doing is any indication. And it looks like . . . yes . . . Referee Kelly is notifying the timekeeper to stop the clock. He wants the doctor at ringside to take a look at Conn's facial wound. 4:4
01:20 * Referee Kelly is stopping this fight. He's calling for the ring doctor. The ring doctor is taking a close look at Conn... Conn's corner is pleading its case.* The doctor is shaking his head. The fight is over as Kelly calls for the bell! Duran is the winner by TKO as the doctor will not let Conn continue! 4:4
Fight Result

Re: #4# event 16 (13-18)
Knew Hearns v Whitaker would be a good fight. Thought Hearns edged it myself.
Re: #4# event 16 (13-18)
Aye, close fight. Could not have complained if it had gone to Hearns, but it was a close, tough fight.
Re: #4# event 16 (13-18)
